KA-T Check up...

leaking oil at the fittings, so I'm going to change those... need to get an exhaust made. I think that's hindering the car from running more boost with just an open turbo...dunno, need to get the **** tuned. Just needed to know it was working lol.

Glad to see a few old timers around

Mine's running pretty good.. Got about 2000 miles on my built engine.. even took at 800 mile trip with it, and got 33mpg on the highway with 850cc injectors! I was quiet impressed... I thought it was pretty nice that even with stock radiator, and altima fans, my temp NEVER goes above 195*.. with both fans on it won't go over 180*.. I love my car.

Runs like a dream, i'm boosting about 12-14psi on 92 octane with a gt35 turbo. Pulls like crazy, I love it. Can't wait to try to race gas and 20psi+.. mmm.

why change it tho if its running like a dream?

[lrb_2000]

Change what? Did I say I was going to change something lol..

Well mines been going ok for about 1000 miles.I did about 500 miles on 5psi and a stock clutch. THen i went up to 9 psi and the stock clutch started to slip really bad when boost kicked in. So i got a new "xtd stage 4 clutch" And now i just got the 500 mile break in period done on it and it bites great and no slipping. Cars been running great.I'm on stock internals440 dwz32 mafsebay t3emance tune etc basic setup.

I've been pretty much daily driving it and it is just fine.

Maybe alittle surge, but thats the mighty RS BOV.

same boat here, running it with only the small spring in there, and it set fairly soft... pisses me off.

Still gotta get a 3" catback section to finish my exhaust, 2.5" downpipe into the factory exhaust sucks.... not to mention one of the hangers is bent so it's beating against the subframe.

[abc123omg]

my dailt ka-t on 8psi is running good, bov is leaking now though..not driving it too much until i get a new bov, boost controller adn boost gauge

cant wait till my paycheck comes in lol

Been boosted for a good year now at 12psi for 14,000 miles i dynoed 267 hp and 280 ft. pds. tourqe at 10 psi on the mustang dyno and i have 170,000 miles now and about 185 psi on all 4 cylinders last time i checked on a all stock block. i'm very happy and have had a lot of fun surprising people. I have a freshly built motor wth forged internals waiting to take command this winter.

garret t3/to4e 57 trim with .63 ar. nismo 740cc inj. jim wolf ecu fine tuned with apexi neo. hks super seq. bov, tial 38 mm waste gate peak boost top mount mani. 3'' turbo back to apexi 3' cat back tubo exhaust. greddy front mount.

[red_rain]

Time for a rebuild for me, I can't complain Its lasted about 30-35k built with a gt32 then gt35r. I won't be using Griggs this time for the build. You still up in Jersey?

[GEO]

yeah i am

[Brandon93240]

Thats cool, I haven't been up there in a minute. I'd like to make that drive again def. this time of year.

[turbonola]

wh

I'm on my 5th Ka (2nd built one) and its running quite alright. Just a few boost and oil leaks but other than that, 18psi on a modified Gti-R t28 feels great!

what did you modify on it? i think i have to rebuild mine already. other than that my half built (forged pistons on stock rods) ka-t is treating me ok.
